Connecting Gas Cylinder:
The propane gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for propane gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Only
cylinders with a listed overfill prevention device (OPD) and marked “propane” may be used. Cylinders
with an OPD will have valve handles with three “lobes” (prongs). Only use 20-pound cylinders
equipped with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking
appliances. The cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The gas cylinder should
not be dropped or handled roughly! If the appliance is not in use, the gas cylinder must be
disconnected. Storage of an appliance indoors is permissible ONLY if the cylinder is disconnected
and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and
must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area. Your cylinder must never be
stored where temperatures can reach over 125 F. Before connection, be sure that there is no debris
caught in the head of the gas cylinder, head of the regulator valve or in the head of the burner and
burner ports. Connect regulator valve and hand-tighten firmly. Disconnect the propane cylinder from
the regulator valve when the grill is not in use. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air and
ventilation air to the grill. The propane cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and equipped
with a listed overfilling prevention device.
DANGER
Never store a spare propane cylinder near this grill. A fire causing death or serious injury may occur if
the above is not followed exactly.

Note: Before starting the grill, check for leaks. Make sure the regulator valve is securely
fastened to the burner and the cylinder.
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1. Always perform the “leak test” as described below
before lighting the grill or
each time the cylinder is connected for use.
2. Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak
test.
3. Conduct leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
4. Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5. Do not use grill until any and all leaks are corrected. If you are unable to stop a leak,
disconnect the propane supply. Call a gas appliance serviceman or your local propane gas
supplier.
To Perform a Leak Test:
Make a 2-3 oz (0-90ml.) of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three
parts water in a spray bottle.
Note: Make sure control knobs are off.
Spray solution at the tank valve to regulator connection.
Inspect the solution at the connection looking for bubbles. If NO bubbles appear, the connection is
secure. If bubbles appear, you have a leak.
Check the regulator connection as follows:
Disconnect regulator from the tank and reconnect, making sure the connection is secure.
Retest with solution. If you continue to see bubbles, replace the cylinder.
